The Way of the Sword - Hamamoto Hisao, Hachiman-ryū Battōjutsu 抜刀術

Hamamoto Hisao is a master of Hachiman-ryū Battōjutsu. Wielding ancient samurai swords, he teaches techniques that have been passed down through the generations.

We interviewed him at the Dojo Bar in Naha City, Okinawa in 2019, then recorded additional footage in 2021 in the grounds of the Karate Kaikan.

The 30-minute full-length interview with Hamamoto Sensei is now available on Bujin.tv
